Life on the road to Ubud

The road to Ubud is extremely busy!


From sun up to sundown, 


people go about their daily chores by foot or by bike.


 I spied the egg man with his fresh fetch of the day ....


.... the cheery soul taking his not-so-cheery daughter to school


.... the man carrying a basket of offerings on his head 
(The fact that he was a pillion passenger was all the more impressive)


.... the gentle-faced basket weaver carrying his wares to the market


.... and the schoolboy with a cheeky grin


Greeting motorbike riders through the car window was de rigeur!


and seated side-saddle, the female pillion passengers and their wares managed admirably


It was indeed a busy trip to Ubud!

    1. Thank you Carla - you are right - they all have such interesting faces and are generally very happy and happy to greet you with a smile. It was a joy going off the main roads and meeting them in their little villages and seeing them go about their daily lives. See you in December. F x
